Removed to the Mountains.


Under the above head the Fayette-
vile Observer prints the following,
which would indicate that our Judge
and Attorney General are doing good
work in furnishing offenders against
the law:
GA party of thirteen-an unlucky
number-left this place for the mount
aims last Friday-an unlucky day
where they will spend the summer,
and winter too, for one to three years.
Their removal, instead of being
caused by dissatisfaction with this
country, was compulsory. They are
the culprits who were sentenced at
the special term of court to imprison-
ment for transgression of the State
avs. They were taken to the coal
mines at Tracy City, where they will
aid developing the natural resources
of the State. Social equality is some.
times enforced, as in this case, where
two white men and eleven negroes
were chained together"

Perry Crystal Wedding.

The following spicy account of the
celebration of Mr.. and Mrs. j. A.
Perry's crystal wedding, will interest
their many friends and relatives who
are readers of the STANDARD. 1t was
clipped from q California paper, the
name Of which we did not get, so we
are unable to give the proper credit:
On Friday of last week at least a
hundred and fifty people assembled
at the beautiful, romantic home of
Mr.. and Mrs. j. A. Perry, some four
miles east of town, the occasion be-
ing the celebration of their crystal
wedding. The house had been pref
tily decorated with flowers and foil
age. At four o'clock a sumptuous
dinner was served, which continued
until after seven. The immense Ia
bles were spread upon the spacious
pOrches, the posts and pillars of which
were garlanded with gay festoOns of
evergreens, while trailing vines and
fragrant h~oneysuckle made it a most
welcome retreat from the sun. AS
sembled round these festal boards the
festive company did justice to the
viands thereon, departing more joy.
Gus than ever to stroll through the
pleasure grounds, indulge in croquet,

AS the last rays of the setting sur

NASHVILLE MARKET REPORT.

Corrected from the Nashville american
every Thursday evening.
The tone of the general market was
an impr ,vement over that of yester-
day. In some of the departments
trade was quiet brisk for the season,
while in others it was only moderate.
Altogether, however, the volume of
transactions was entirely satisfactory
for the advanced state of the season.
There was a better feeling in the
market for groceries than was noted
yesterday. The feeling of alarm, ex-
perienced on account of the furry in
coffee, was almost entirely dissipated
to-day. Dealers were in better spir-
its and reconciled to the situation,
having determined to pocket their
losses as philosophically as the nature
Of the case will admit. A few deal
ers will likely lose heavily, but, as a
rule Nashville grocery men have
been occupying a conservative posi-
ton, and will not be seriously hurt
in any reasonable course the market
may take. Values were lowered &c
today, but it is possible dealers may
shade quotations a little. The sugar
market maintains a firm and steady
tone.
Provisions are steady at quotations,
Country produce receipts continue tC
meet requirements, and prices are
unchanged from yesterday.

Portland Benevolent society.

The annual meeting of the Portland Be-
nevolent Society was held at the First Par
ish church last evening. Rev. A. T. Dunn Of
the Free street Baptist church preaching the
sermon. A good sized audience was present.
After the Introductory services of music,
Scripture reading and prayer, Rev. Mr..
Dunn announced as the text OF his sermon
the Amounting at Bethany, Matthew 26:6-l3.
Mr.. Dunn said in substance: The occasion
of our present meeting, the time, the place.
conspire to make study Of this beautiful
scene especially appropriate. The principal
characters were Jesus, Mary and the Disci-
ples-each Of whom should be examined
personally and relatively.
1-Observe the character and act of Mary
as she anoints Jesus. This was an act Of
love; love strong and expressive. Mary's
love was of the kind which called for deeds
in addition to her words. This deed was ex-
traordnary; not commanded by the Lord,
but the outcome of loving heart. Mary's
act was personal. She did not delegate the
work to another; she did 1t herself. Mary's
act was unselish. She knew. of no gain
farthes Sn from snG asking win It pay Marys
act was generous. 1t was costly gift; but
with such love as she had nothing was too
good.
2-Observe the action of her opponents.
They asked, ITO what purpose is this
waste?" They criticised her action, being
led by the grasping, treacherous Judas. They
did not understand the motive; they forgot
the one now honored; they spoke hastily
and without consideration. They voiced the
sentiment of too many in all ages Of the
church.
3--Observe the action of Jesus. No record
is made of any expression from Him until
He heard the criticisms made, and then He
reproves the critics and approves Mary. He
pronounces the act a good one he COM
mends her for doing to the extent OF her
ability. He places His divine seal rendered
for Him in a loving, self-sacrifcing. gener-
Gus manner In this scene each loyal disci-
pie finds an example, and may discover the
promise of reward.

An AdmIrabIe Portrait.

Commencing this noon, and continuing
several days, there will be placed on exhibit
ton at j. I. Stubs art gallery, in Congress
Square, portrait of Mrs. W. w. Thomas,
Jr., the wife of our former Minister Resident
at the court of Sweden.
A private view of the portrait on Satur-
day afternoon, afforded facilities for noticing
the admirable qualities of the lady artists
whose work will so soon be placed before
cur citizens for their inspection. The por-
trait is three quarter length, richly framed
and adorns the north front of the gallery.
The draping of the picture reflects a great
deal of credit upon Mr.. Stubs, and is SO ar
ranged, and contrasts so well with the color
ing in the portrait, that when the artificial
light, produced by gas, is called into play 1t
heightens the effect in marked degree.
The portrait is the work of Miss Kerstin
Carbon, Swedish artist of note who has
been honored by the King with commission
to place his majesty upon canvas. 1t rep

step from the garden into the house. underla

the PALISADES.
The Schooner that ColIided with tho
Kolon lowed to Port.

Readers of the PRESS will remember that
last Friday 1t was stated that the schooner
Kolon, Capt Libby. had arrived at this port
in disabled condition, having collided at
sea with an unknown schooner. The un-
known vessel proved to be the Palisades,
Capt. K. Chadwick, of New York, and was
lumber laden from Calais to New York. The
Palisades was towed to this port Saturday
morning by the schooner John Somes. She
was very badly disabled being in sinking
condition with all her headgear gone and
her bow smashed in. The Kolon found the
Palisades ON Friday drifting about 50 miles
from the place of the collision.
